About Me:

I'm a freelance writer, editor and graphic artist with over two decades of experience in the publishing industry, working primarily for newspapers and comic book publishers, including a seven-year stint as Art Director of the national supermarket tabloid, Sun.

Since 1990, I've written numerous independent comic books, including Leonard Nimoy's Primortals,Shadow House and the critically-acclaimed crime thriller, Gravedigger: The Scavengers. I'm the creator of the online comic strips Femme Noir, Knight & Gale and Perils on Planet X . I've also written a handful of published short stories, with more in the works.

I'm currently writing comic book scripts and short stories for various publishers, including Moonstone Books and Ape Entertainment, and a regular DVD review column that appears on my DVD Late Show site as well as filmmaker Kevin Smith's pop culture news site, Quick Stop Entertainment.

Comic Book Writer with a Gun.

My original goal was to be a hardboiled pulp novelist who wrote comic books on the side, but like Tom Neal, somewhere along the line, I took a detour, and got into comics first. Still, I figured what the hell – if comics were good enough for Hammett and Spillane, they were good enough for me. Then the market collapsed, and my "career" collapsed with it.

After a decade-long break from fiction writing while I toiled away in tabloid newsrooms and art departments, I've recently turned back to telling my stories full time – first with a return to comics, and now, short fiction sales to pulp and horror anthologies.

Maybe I'll get around to that P.I. novel one of these days, after all...
